No injuries were reported Sunday after a fire in the Greenwood County Jail.
Sheriff Heath Samuels says an unnamed inmate started a fire in their cell shortly before 7:15 pm. Jail staff put out the fire before evacuating the jail as Eureka Fire ventilated the building. Inmates were also kept secure and later returned to their cells once the jail was deemed safe.
Samuels says there was no damage to the facility.
Samuels says further details will be withheld as the investigation continues.
